Btw when I said it was bad it was totally the opposite.
Stockfish calls it a brilliant move.
It's the fastest possible brilliant move in chess. Either it wins a rook, or it allows you to bully your opponent around (and potentially force an early checkmate) in what is literally the only exception to the "Wayward Queen" being an objectively terrible opening.
Unless you REALLY know what you're doing, don't move the f-pawn in the opening; much less only one space.

Exactly true, but since I’m at the 100 elo level, most of my opponents don’t notice this is a brilliant.
If you don’t know, the Damiano gambit goes like this.
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 f6
3. Nxe5
basically, you sacrifice the knight in the Damiano defense.
I should have been losing but I actually put my opponent into zugzwang.
